synopsis
In the late '60s, it would have been hard to find a rock star who didn't have Suzette or Vinnie on his arm or attached to his leg. The self-proclaimed belles of the rock 'n' roll ball rocked the worlds of every music legend whose pants they could take off--and they have the pictures to prove it.

Vinnie is now Lavinia--a prim, suburban mother, wife, and pillar of the community, more at home at a garden party than a mosh pit. Suzette is still her brassy self, with a few new tattoos and a remarkably increased bust line. When her world comes crashing down, she sets off in search of Vinnie, the one friend who might be able to rescue her.
